Once upon a time, the holidays were not an onslaught of made-for-TV Christmas movies.
Over the years, we have looked on with great anticipation as Hollywood gifted us with motion pictures that have earned the title of “Holiday Classic.” Certainly, the earliest of these was Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol which has spawned countless reinventions over time. Then came It’s a Wonderful Life which provided us with great life lessons and a tear-inducing ending that I still can’t get through with a dry eye. Holiday Inn and White Christmas both earned their spot on the “must-watch” roster and television soon chimed in with a new type of classic with A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
However, in 1983 a new classic joined the ranks: A Christmas Story hit the screens which was based on Jean Shepherd’s book, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash. This warm and humorous recollection of Christmas in mid-America in 1940 spawned such a loyal following that one television station now plays it for 24 hours straight every Christmas Eve.
What has generated this immense popularity? Perhaps its charm comes from reminding us that toys were once designed to spark a child’s creativity and imagination or get them out into the fresh air. Maybe it has something to do with the simpler joys of singing carols in the car with your family, the giddy anticipation of visiting Santa’s lap or sitting down to a delicious turkey dinner. Or perhaps it’s the honesty and charm of an everyday family experiencing the spirit of the season with all of its quirks and unexpected challenges.
Whatever the reason, we now have a whole new set of “Christmas” icons that signal the season for a dedicated audience: a table lamp in the shape of a woman’s leg; a pink bunny suit; a frosty flagpole; an inflexible snowsuit; a bar of Lifebuoy soap; and that gift of all gifts, a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun!
So hop in the car with Ralphie, Randy, Mother, and the Old Man for a delightful holiday outing! We’re going to Higbee’s!
Jim Christian – Director
It’s 1940 in the middle of Indiana and the Christmas season has finally arrived! Like all children around the world, Ralphie has one thing on his mind: what he wants for Christmas. He has spent plenty of time thinking and planning and plotting and has come up with the most perfect gift, no… the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts: an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action, Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! Now all he has to do is convince his parents, his teacher Miss Shields, and even Santa that he won’t “shoot his eye out” and his Christmas will go down as the most perfect Christmas any kid has ever experienced. Despite their rebuffs, he’s not about to let their negativity get him down; he is determined to use every tactic he can think of to persuade them.
Along with his friends and little brother Randy, Ralphie learns what it’s like when you stick your tongue to a freezing lamp post, when you fight the neighborhood bully, when your Dad wins a major award, and when you get stuck wearing a pair of fluffy pink bunny pajamas. Through it all, they manage to share the joy and imagination that only a child can bring to the holiday season in this fun and nostalgic musical that has become a tradition in homes across the country.

We are thrilled about our upcoming 2022 Season at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre. Whether you are a long-time part of our CPT family or a new season ticket holder, the lineup for 2022 is packed with shows that will keep you coming back again and again.
They say laughter is the best medicine, so get ready for a much-needed dose delivered up in The Play That Goes Wrong. Set in the 1920s, the actors of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society do their level best to uphold the time-honored adage that “the show must go on” as they present to you the opening night of “Murder at Haversham Manor”. Quickly things go from bad to disastrous, and with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse who can’t seem to play dead, and actors who not only trip over their lines, but everything else on stage, you have the recipe for a riotous dose of healing laughter!
It’s IMPOSSIBLE not to love the Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. This beautifully staged show is filled with romance, hope, unforgettable melodies, and of course, magic. It’s the perfect show for the whole family!
Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about fathers and sons, and the stories we use to define and shape our lives. The music is as beautiful and powerful as the story, and you just may walk away with some new favorites.
Go Go Go Joe! One of the most enduring musicals of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the envy of their favored brother with his coat of many colors. Written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, this show is a musically eclectic journey masterfully told using different genres of memorable tunes you’ll be singing long after. Joseph is a great show for the entire family.
Bright Star is a beautifully written musical about a young woman growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We see her first as a young carefree woman and then watch how her life changes as she becomes a well-to-do magazine editor 22 years later. Her story is inevitably woven with that of an idealistic young man named Billy, with whom she shares a mysterious connection. The bluegrass score, (written by actor Steve Martin and Edie Brickell) provides a rich musical palette with which this story is painted.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to see Elf, The Musical. This wildly popular musical is packed with all the magical ingredients needed for the perfect start to your Christmas season. Come along with Buddy the Elf on his adventure to find his dad and ultimately save Christmas!
In CenterPoint Legacy Theatre’s production of The Music Man, Russell Maxfield gets to honor his Father in a unique way: by figuratively and literally walking in his shoes. As a child, Russell had the opportunity to play Winthrop while his Dad played Harold Hill for Pages Lane Theatre production. Now, Russell takes on the role of Harold Hill while his Father joins the ensemble and he might even get to wear a pair of his Dad’s Harold Hill shoes on stage.
Russell grew up knowing and loving the music and story of The Music Man, but now sees how deep the storyline goes. He feels like there are many connections to our lives in Centerville and Davis County. He says, “The good guy really starts off as the bad guy. He ends up changing the town and the town changes him.” Russell began on the stage at age 6 at Pages Lane Theatre, with Ralph Rodgers being a big part of why he originally began acting. While playing the part of Winthrop, Russell tried to learn the trumpet but eventually steered toward vocal performances. As a young boy he remembers seeing The Music Man’s Director, Shelby Ferrin, play Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and it inspired Russell to play the same role as an adult. Some of his favorite roles have been when he’s playing the good guy, like Joseph, or the bad guy, like Gaston in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. With the role of Harold Hill, Russell feels like he gets to explore both those character types.
Russell is happy to be back at CenterPoint where he knows the people from the community where he grew up. He appreciates that CenterPoint is a community theater with high quality performances. He encourages people to come find something new in The Music Man. He notes, “The Music Man feels like the original Hamilton. There is so much fast, rhythmic speaking that almost feels like rapping. The more you get into the music and story it is even better than you will remember.” He hopes that audiences will enjoy this look into a time when a small community learns to welcome differences that add value to their lives.
Amanda Rogers is no stranger to the classic story of The Music Man. As Ethel Toffelmier in the M/W/F cast, Amanda is pleased to be a part of this musical for the third time. This time she dedicates her performance to her father whom she shared the stage with during her two previous productions and who passed away six years ago. Her father had been Marcellus in these shows and Amanda honors him in the role closest to Marcellus – Ethel Toffelmier.
Community theater has long been a past-time of Amanda’s. She began as a child in Riverton, Bluffdale, and Sandy community productions. Amanda grew up sharing the stage with her family in many productions. Last season she loved joining CenterPoint’s team in the production of My Fair Lady and remembers how fun the costumes were that helped the cast transform from high society to servants throughout the show. One of her favorite roles has been Princess Puffer in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. She loved playing a character outside of her comfort zone and the audience participation that changes the end of the show always kept the cast on their toes.
CenterPoint is honored to have Amanda and the rest of the The Music Man casts make this production an unforgettable tribute to the power of community. She tells about this production, “The Music Man is a simple show with so much heart. The music is upbeat and happy and perfect for wintertime.” When asked about what she likes about being onstage at CenterPoint, she responded, “the professionalism of the whole production team from the costumes, to sets, and lighting. Also, it feels like family.” As Amanda honors her father and her family through the portrayal of Ethel Toffelmier, we know that you will leave The Music Man with a skip in your step.
Krista is thankful for the opportunity to work with this production team, cast, and crew. She appreciates the support of this community and the value it places on the arts and how it impacts our lives.
